That's the problem. It's not a big deal. Too many of us have grown used to our president having the communications skills of a 4th grader.

Speaking only for myself, I still cringe when we read something as completely asinine as this. Yet I admit that I am slowly coming around to appreciate that President Trump, despite his incoherence, nevertheless has been surprisingly effective on many issues that his predecessors have either ignored or made worse. Perhaps basic communications skills are overrated after all.

He is fine when he does his prepared speeches and sometimes his off the cuff stuff is fine also. It isn't like whatever he did today was for a national audience.
